No first team signings anyway. Not exactly awful considering James' imminent return and Sarr doing a decent job at LB (Kenedy being an option too?).

If we weren't going to bring in first team quality, it's for the best.

Exactly -not light on talent, but the injuries are annoying. Must be bit of a maverick here but always rated Kenedy, just needs micro-managing.

Playing Sarr has kind of stopped clubs from blatantly targeting our left side as opposed to as when Alonso is there, as I expect to see Sarr more now in that regard.  

Only issue is that it massively isolates who ever is LW.

Let’s hope this is just temporary. Sarr has only played a few games as lb the last few years, so no problem if he is focused on getting the basis right first before adventuring more forward. He does not need to be brilliant at it. If he achieves the level of azpis or ash‘s contribution I will be more than happy

Could also force James further up and play as an additional #10 whilst Sarr is being utilised solely as an additional defender. Sort of a Yin and Yang.

Would make us kind of lopsided but I think you hit the nail on the head. This is what it will look like at fist. Has the advantage that we can slot back and forth to a back 5 fluently during matches with sarr reverting to lcb and the lw becoming the lwb

You aren't alone; always thought he's had the talent but only been used as a stopgap.

Thing is if you fuck up a few times in one game, or once in two games we know they're getting dropped. This is Chelsea. But it isn't always the right thing. I would have kept Tomori - for his 100% attitude and set piece scoring -or at least not sold to West Ham, but its all opinions 🤪

Newcastle and ....... Tottenham or Arsenal ? 🤔

 

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

Newcastle or us. Can't be anyone else. Getting 150m player for 20m is no brainer. 

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Schlotterbeck basically confirmed he will got to Bayern by saying he definitely wants to stay in Germany Germany but wants to make a step up. Bayern will probably for him, both AC and Schlotterbeck.

At this rate, i think it is more probable Azpi stay than AC but probably both will leave...

[Pizy 18,368]

Imagine going from the glorious, beautiful city of Barcelona to living in bloody Newcastle. 😂 Sure his wife will be excited! Never mind going from one of the 3 biggest clubs in world football to a relegation scrap.

Though it must be said, if Newcastle can pull off signings like Trippier, Gumeiraes, and Dembele perhaps they will indeed be serious players starting next summer. If they stay up, that is. They can instantly vault to the Leicester/West Ham/Spuds/Arse level if they make the right signings. And that alone would feel like heaven to their supporters. 

[milka 3,344]

Pulisic , Werner , Havertz  , Lukaku , Mount , CHO , Ziyech . 

And there are no rumors that anyone could leave now.

I don't see where Dembele would play.

This. No matter where he plays and if he even does at all. Business-wise this is tempting to say at least, Saul failed, he may as well do well. (even if personally I'm not a fan of buying players with his mentality and work ethic)
